Today over at the shmups forums a new post caught my eye. Check out the added content in the Player 2 bomb stock below: A forum regular ”austere” has reverse-engineered the game from top to bottom, and made a patch available for those who wants to try it out: This is a modified version of …

What it does The Ultracade Universal Video Converter, or UVC for short, can convert a high res video signal into an arcade monitor compatible RGBS signal. In 15kHz or in 24kHz. There are other ways of hooking up a high res source to an arcade cabinet like this, but no other can output to 24kHz …

So, last week my harddrive gave up. Naturally this has taken it’s toll on the site updates, even though I really haven’t had anything to put here. In case you’ve missed it, there are some awesome new additions to MAME since last week. Ketsui, Do-Donpachi Dai-Ou-Jou (including Black Label) and ESPGALUDA. Initally the last one …

I have made some nice changes to my Red Box PCB so it now has AdvanceMenu as frontend. This of course looks much better than the very basic menu that came with it. Also supports animated previews of all games and has a nice trance track as background music. I’ve created a kick ass animation …

Recieved a MULTI-PCB called Red Box. Basically a hacked GameBox with a much better set of titles. Many of these games I already own as PCB’s, but this is very handy if you’re just gonna invite friends over, drink a few beers and play games.

Out with the old, in with the new. I have sold my homebuilt MAME–cabinet. And have found an excellent replacement. It will show up here as soon as I lay my mittens on it. All I can say for now is New–In–Box.

About me

Hi folks,

I'm a bit too old (born 1974), father of two girls and one boy and have been an avid arcade game fan since I first got to play Knuckle Joe (the game's really crap, what was Taito thinking?) but it got me hooked. Me and a couple of my friends used to ride our bikes around town just to check out the latest games. And we we're really good at playing them. Luckily for me, the game operators responsible for the machines around my home town really had a great feel for what games would be popular.

Look at my collection to see some of the titles that I now as an adult had do have. I was too young to play at the local video rental (they had two NSM cabinets and later switched one of them to a JK Cabinet) and the best operator in town, Video Games was their name.

I stood there watching the older kids play. There was the 15 year age-limit and I was only about 13 at the time. I also played a lot on Aleph cabinets. The operator that favoured those is called Adon-Bolagen.
